Random thoughts....

Today is just one of those days where I have much to accomplish, but the tasks are TOTALLY unrelated. As I do laundry, clean house, sort mail, pay bills, respond to email, plan projects, search craigslist for bar stools, read blogs, etc., etc., etc., my mind has a tendency to jump from thought to thought quite randomly and quite quickly. So here is what I've been thinking about this morning:

• The WASL is a waste of time, energy and money.
• My son-in-law would have been a terrific 80's rocker; too bad he wasn't born a couple of decades earlier.
• Dave and I are fortunate to attend a church where our pastor believes the Bible, preaches the Bible and, most importantly, lives the Bible.
• I'm sure glad that we aren't selling a house right now.
• Why does my furniture get so dusty?
• The human brain is amazing, but when it doesn't work right it is truly perplexing.
• Maybe if I go back to work then I can justify hiring someone to clean my house again.
• This weekend is going to be really busy. My parents will be here; we will be visiting their old church in Seattle and going to Erik & Krista's on Sunday. We will also be going to see "Generations," a musical theater production at Cedar Park Church in Bothell. Dave and Kara will be doing a family video project in Mount Vernon all day Saturday.
• When is the weather going to improve?
• Why can't Google make Blogger easier to use?

Enough for the random thoughts.... It's time to fold laundry again.

Greece and Israel Trip... A Few Photos

I still haven't finished going through all of my photos from our recent trip to Greece and Israel, but I thought I would post a few from my favorite places we visited:

Top Left - The Parthenon, Athens, Greece

Top Center - Masada, Israel

Top Right - Western (Wailing) Wall, Jerusalem, Israel

Mid Left - Beit She'an, Israel

Mid Center - Sea of Galilee, Israel

Mid Right - Jordan River, Israel

Bottom Left - Sea of Galilee, Israel

Bottom Center - Mt. Carmel, Israel

Bottom Right - Garden Tomb, Jerusalem, Israel

This truly was a trip of a lifetime that I would highly recommend to others who have studied the Bible, but who desire to actually see many of the places listed over and over in the Scriptures.

Our New Condo

We love our new condo at the marina!! I literally have to pinch myself every morning because it is just too beautiful. We have three bedrooms and two baths... plenty of room for you all to stop by and visit. And the view? All we can say is WOW!

Thanks to Kim, Dave, Dani, Bob, Krista, Erik, Kara, Dusty, Heather, Jeff and Kellen for helping us move. These friends and family actually made Moving Day FUN!

Do we miss our little one bedroom apartment? Only when it takes me longer than 15 minutes to clean! (But we do miss living close to Dusty, Kara and Gunner.)
